" Killed In Battle ]"

See yon frail form, with phantom-like tread,
1t moves through the shadows of night;
How chilly the fierce blasts beat the head
That by WEIRD disordered fancy is led
In the path of its sorrowful flight.
Ye look with alright in the wild-.tarng eye
That speaks of the turbulent brain
Ye shudder. and turn the form rushes by,
Ye hear, with feeling of pity, its cry,
As 1t vanishes over the plain.
stream.
Ye have heard the fierce rush of the wave;
Come, stand on its shores-with terrors they TEEN,
Yet pity and hope family touch the sad
Where the storm winds, merciless,
That form is wanderer through the dark years
And hope bears treacherous light;
1t lives in the past, with its trials and fears,
1t lives in the present-its sorrows and tears.
1t lives in perpetual night.
Hear that d-shrlek, that is borne on the air!
LOAD Fire! Each man to his gun!"
Now 1t tenderly floats, like wall of despair,
Softly, in accents pathetic and rare;
'He fals-but the battle is wonr'
"Back. Back yeiaerce monsters. touch that
head
Lest his blood be your dark souls!
From the depths ofyour spirits all mercy hath fed,
Yet God shall protect the dear form of the dead,
AS His vengeance in majesty rolls,
'He dies! Yet onward the strong line of blue
Sweeps like fierce whirlwind of steel;
His comrades-my brave ones-the gallant aud true,
AS they rush the foe, and the conflict renew,
The patriots ardor reveal.
"Hurrah! The banners of freedom still wave,
And the arm of the traitor goes down;
Above the cold depths of my fallen ones grave.
1 see, through the gloom, the form of the slave
Deity weaving the conqueror's crown.
''Hark! On the broad river hear the glad sound
The notes of the final tattoo;
The soft-fowing ripples, they sing the bound
OF that camp where earth's fallen heroes found
As they pass In Jehovah's review.
II come! Yes, come! No hand can withhold
Ny poor murdered lover from me;
In beautiful with its streets of pure gold
With harp and with crown-and with raptures untold
Thou art waiting and longing for me-"
That voice passed away like vanishing wall,
And the form of the maniac fled;
The soft plaintive whispers still float down the vale,
And the night-winds wildly repeat the sad tale
OF the maniac who mourns for her dead.

terests, that a great deal better state
of affairs existed than had formerly
existed there. There was too much
profit on a very little work, in this
awful business, for those accustomed
to it to give up the fight without
last desperate attempt to retrieve their
lost prestige, and they bided their
time, worked to the end of overthrow
ing the prohibition law. Every means
known to the ingenuity of politicians
found employment in the campaign.
1t was square battle between sin and
morality, and it is humiliating and
discouraging to record the temporary
defeat of the home as against the dog
gerry. Yet that defeat came, and good
people can do nothing else than meet
the evil where it is. and continue the
battle in some shape. There are no
divisions on party lines in Atlanta.
It is condition of things similar to
the Second Amendment" campaign
in Ohio four years ago, the temperance
men of all parties against the doggery
influence, and it was earnestly hoped
that the temperance forces would sue

Henry George, in his "Anti-Pover-
ty" paper, takes the ground that men
drift into the doggery business be-
cause there is no other business open
to them. This ground is as strange
as it is untenable. Men drift into the
doggery business through a criminal
greed for getting money rapidly with
out working for it. Mr.. Georges
theory is upset completely by the fact
that hundreds Of tradesmen-and
good mechanics, too-became dissatis-
fed with the humdrum way of max
ing an honest living by the earning
of daily wages, and engage in the
more rapid method of getting money
through the less fatiguing employ
ment of selling poison. To say that
the doggery business is necessity, is
to attempt to establish claim against
which all observation and all reason
revolt.

natl arrested Mr.. Edward Hoagland. a
liquor merchant, for being in his store
after night. The detective" thought
Hoagland was burglar, and, refus-
ing any explanation, took him off to
the station-house and kept him in a
cell until morning. Well, this was
little rough on Hoagland, but there
was little old-fashioned justice mixed
up in it. Perhaps hundreds Of Hoag-
lands victims had spent nights in cells
and upon the streets, and the gentle
man was given taste Of what he is
doing for others.

A short time ago the daily papers
were filled with glowing accounts of
the beautiful eulogy pronounced upon
the late Henry Ward Beecher by the
eloquent English divine, DR.. Parker.
Much space was wasted in describing
the pathetic passages, and the tender
feeling displayed by the great preach
er, for his equally great co-laborer,
now gone. But the beauty Of the
whole story has been ruthlessly de-
stroyed by the statement or admission
by the great Englishman that he re-
ceived the sum of seven hundred dol
lars for the eulogy. Any man could
afford to talk prettily during the space
of couple Of hours for that amount
of money.

The Drift of 1888

Is political problem of general in
terest, but some Of our foremost men,
thought they would be in the swim,
and who had the Presidential bee in
their bonnets have passed to the here
after. In view of the uncertainty Of
life, would it not be wiser to dip less
into the future and more wisely i'm
prove the present by attention to
health and the warding off Of disease?
The exposure to which our public men
and noted speakers are liable renders
them an easy preyto Bronchial troub-
lie, Asthma, Consumption, Pneumonia.
The finest physique, the most vigor-
Gus manhood, are shining marks to-
ward which Death shafts are aimed.
To make strong fight for life use
Gooch's Mexican Syrup, which is an
infallible cure for the above named
diseases and ali kindred affections.
Consumption is the great scourge
of the American nation; its victims
amount to twenty-five percent of the
entire mortality. 1t may be either
al tendency, or neglected cold. From
whatever cause it may have arisen, it
can be completely cured by the use of
Gooch's Mexican Syrup, specific
which has been uniformly successful
in the treatment of the disease. And
why? Because Consumption is the
formation of tuberculous matter re-
suIting from infam nation of the mu-
cuous mem branes, eating away the
lungs. exhausting vital force, and
reducing the system. Now if there is
medicine which will allay infamma-
ton, first sooth and then invigorate
the mucuous mem branes, repair the
waste and nourish the hody, it will
effect cure in the only natural and
proper way, and this is precisely the
action Of Gooch's Mexican Syrup.
From thousands Of certificates now
on file at our Office we select the fol-
lowing as a sample of the words of
genuine praise we receive daily:
CINCINNATI DRUG AND CHEMIDAL Co:
Gentlemen-Gooch's Mexican Syr-
up has accomplished a cure in this
neig borhood which has astonished
the people. A young lady, Miss Dav-
is, was given up to die by her attend
ing physicians. She had Lung Fever.
The doctors said she would die before
morning, and advised her friends to
discontinue the medicines, as they
were doing her no good Her parents
had a bottle Of your Mexican Syrup
and liniment They at once began to
give the Syrup in doses one hour apart,
and frequently bathed her chest with
the liniment. Before morning she
was decidedly better, and after using
two bottles Of each, she was as we'll as
ever. It was almost like raising the
dead, and has established the reputa-
ton of your medicine here.

The defeat of prohibition in Atlanta
does not crush the opposition to the
liquor traffic. Those representatives
of the liquor interest who fall into
such belief are wonderfully mistaken.
The result of the election only shows
the temperance forces the magnitude
of the fight they are engaged in. The
temperance sentiment in Atlanta was
so strong that it was able to legally
prohibit the sale Of Intoxicating
liquors. Whether that prohibition
was effective and successful or not, we
cannot say, but we are inclined to be-
lieve that it so curtailed the power,
and the evil influence Of the liquor in
